The BR Walls Project's latest addition to the Capital City bears the largest footprint of any of its work so far. Robert Dafford's "Baton Rouge Blues Harmonica" mural on the wall of the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino parking garage gives a new point of interest to the city's skyline as visitors and residents alike travel along the Mississippi River Bridge.

The mural was unveiled Nov. 13 with the help of BR Walls Project organizers, Raising Cane's founder and sponsor of the project Todd Graves and a handful of local arts and music figures.

"What we wanted to do was bring an iconic mural landmark to Baton Rouge," Graves said, adding that Dafford is also responsible for the murals in his restaurants. "There is not better way to welcome people into our great city."

Maxine Crump, a board member of the Baton Rouge Blues Foundation and a voice for local blues history preservation, said Dafford told her his first inspiration to do the project came from Janis Joplin's popular song, "Me and Bobby McGee" more than 40 years ago.

The BR Walls team will further enjoy the unveiling Nov. 13 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Belle of Baton Rouge atrium with a silent auction and public celebration.
